Ha Major!   I think MASH was the first thing I saw him in, and I was way too young to appreciate Sally Kellerman in that role, I think I was 6 when we saw it at the drive-in.

So, no one remembers him in "The Godfather"? That's odd.

How does that qualify as a western though? 

(I guess when they go to Las Vegas in Nevada to buy out Moe Green's casino they are technically out west ;)  )

This topic is about Duvall's acting skills, not Duvall's acting skills in Westerns.  ::)

Lets not forget The Great Northfield Minnesota raid. He played Jesse James in a most unsympathetic light.

IIRC, it was "Lonesome Trail", said after the encounter with a couple of Eastern dudes on a hunting trip. The same movie where he eulogized:

"Between the cradle and the grave, we travel between the two eternities ...", or something close to that.

In this movie he epitomized the strong, silent type who couldn't express his emotional side, mush to his own detriment and that of the people he loved. He has played that role again in a more recent movie where he has to come to terms with having a son who is gay.

"Broken Trail" perhaps

".... We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities."


"Lonesome Trail" was 1955 film with John Agar .

Yup. T'ain't true my memory is fading. It's just that as I grow older, there's less and less worth remembering!

Like B'days, other anniversaries and the names of my kids .....

My favorite four Duval movies; Lonesome Dove, Open Range, Broken Trail, apocalypse Now (awful movie, but he was awesome as the Air Cavalry officer.  He reminded me of Lt Bock, our company XO in basic training, 1974...
